Grand And Compact Tractors

The Grand L40-series compact tractor from Kubota offers three types of advanced transmissions, Kubota diesel engines, and redesigned operator-station features.

Debuting in the Grand L40 tractors is Kubota’s new, electronically controlled hydrostatic transmission (HST) called the HST Plus. It simplifies tractor operation while delivering maximum performance. HST Plus has four innovative functions that create a new dimension of performance and ease of operation:

• Operators can select one of 13 response levels for HST Response Control by adjusting a dial;

• Automatic or manual mode can be chosen for the Hydro Dual Speed that allows additional high and low shifting — even while moving — within each hydrostatic speed range to create a total of six speed ranges;

• The load-sensing stall guard automatically manages power to the wheels, preventing engine stall under load;

• The new Auto-throttle-advance feature simulates the ease of driving a car by synchronizing tractor speed and engine power with the HST pedal, while reducing fuel consumption.

All Grand L40 tractors are built around Kubota’s three-vortex, combustion-system engines. Ranging from 34 horsepower to 59 horsepower, these diesel engines have large displacement to create high power output and power-takeoff torque, along with cleaner emissions and less vibration.
